A Curious Fact in Parliamentary Repre-
sentation Developed.

OTTAWA (Ont.) April 29th,-A lively de-
bate arose in the Canadian House of Com
mons this afternoon out of Government
bill giving two representatives in the Sen
ate to the Northwest Territories. The Lib
erals were unit in demanding the aboli-
ton of the present nominative principle,
but were divided on the substitute for it,
some advocating direct election by the
people, and others wanting an election by
Provincial Legislatures. The curious fact
was developed by the debate that Sir John
Macdonald acknowledged that the Terri
tories could be given any number OF Sena-
tors, while in the old provinces the Union
Act limits the number. The Liberals said
in this there were possibilities of future
trouble. The debate was adjourned.

Two Republican "Rascals" Who Are
Sure to be Turned Out.


Sure to be Turned Out.
WASHINGTON, April 29th.-The President
has recently been devoting some time to
the claims of rival candidates for the posi-
ton of Collector of Customs at Portland.
Or. F. w. Shurtleff the present Collector,
has held the office for two terms, and prior
to that was Deputy Collector. All efforts
to secure his removal have heretofore been
fruitless. AS the Oregon spring elections
are approaching the wisdom of filling this
important office by Democrat has been
urged on the President with renewed vigor
and it is expected the appointment will be
made some time during the next month.
The leading candidates for the place are
Hyman Abrahams and Frank Dodge, and
it looks as though Abrahams, who is very
strongly Endorsed, would get the place.
ANOTHER HEAD TO FALL.
WASHINGTON, April 29th.-[Special. i
There is a great contest over the appoint
ment of Consul General to Paris, an Office
the salary of which is So 900, exclusive of
perquisites. and which is now filled by
George Walker, Republican appointee.
There are candidates for the position from
every State in the Union, with the excep-
ton of Nevada. California presents more
than one applicant for the Office, and it
is not improbable that the post may be
given to the Golden State. William lie
Britton, of San Francisco. is a candidate
for the place, and he is said to be backed
by Governor Bartlett, the Supreme Court
of the State and prominent merchants and
bankers. The impression here among Cal
ifornians is that lie Britton will not receive
the appointment.

KITCHEN DIGNITY.-An exceedingly ludi-
crous and also exasperating incident of the
complaint about household service is the
statement that the maids are not treated
with sufficient dignity. One OF the loudest
complaints we have heard is that well bred
person, who deciding to take service, was
driven from it through humiliation occa-
stoned by the master of the house standing
up before her, without a word, to be helped
with his greatcoat, taking the help for
granted, as if she were an automaton. Yet
in such case the maid fails to realize that
the more she is treated like an automaton
by the gentlemen of the house, the better
1t is for her. She does not, or she should
not, desire to be either a lady-using the
word technically, and with no reflection on
her good manners-or an individual with
them, and the prouder and more high
spirited she is, the more readily she should
perceive this. With the women of the
HOUSEHOLD it is far different matter, ard it
would be a household so far out of the
common sort as to have escaped our notice
where the female members did not put
their serving-women ON a friendly footing,
take personal interest in their affairs,
help them through their difficulties and
respect their individuality. -Haper's Bazar.

Transylvania Marriage Customs.

When the young couple go to church the
day after the wedding, they are met at the
church door by a group of masked figures
who surround them, singing and hooting
and playfully endeavor to separate the
young matron from her husband. If they
succeed in SO doing, then he must win her
back in hand-to-h hand fight with his ad-
versaries, or else he must give piece of
money as her ransom. In general it is
considered bad omen for the married life
of the young couple if the wife be sepa-
rated from her husband on this occasion /;
therefore it is customary for the young
husband to take his stand close by the
church door while his wife is praying
within, and then be ready to catch hold of
her as soon as she steps outside. For greater
precaution, the man often holds her round
the waist with both hands during the dance
which Immediately takes place before the
church, and at which they assist merely as
spectators, taking no active part, as it is
not considered seemly to dance III the
church attire.
AS commonly several couples are mar
ried at the same time, it is usual for each
separate wedding party to bring its own
band OF music, and dance thus independ-
emily of the others. On the occasion of
triple wedding / lately witnessed, it was
very amusing to watch the wedding parties
coming down the street. each acceleratiug

to the church-door to secure the best dane
ing-place. The ground being rough aud
slanting, there was only one spot where
anything like flat dancing floor could be
obtained, and the winning party at once
secured this enviable position, while the
others had to put up with an inclined plane
or a few hillocks accdenting their bail
room floor. The ten to sixteen couples
belonging to each wedding-party are
inclosed in a ring of bystanders,
each rival band of music playing
away with heroic disregard for the
scorched ears of the listeners. Polka =

each party should display noble inde-

FURTHER FACTS.

BaSSett, VINO arrived IN Sacramento Yester-
day, stated to @ reporter of the RECORD
UNION, upon being asked for any further
facts, that the general feeling in the Plu-
mas hydraulic region was very hostile TO
any action on the part of the valley people
or the Government, to enforce the orders of
the Courts in these auti-hydraulic mining
cases. He says that all parties who go
there are looked upon with suspicion and
treated accordingly. Two laboring men
passing through there about ten days since
were turned back and not allowed to con-
tinue their journey. They were on the
road leading from La Porte TO Quincy, and
being suspected as spies though inpo-
cent OF any purpose connected with the
mining industry-were compelled to re-
trace their course. and were put to damag-
ing Inconvenience and delay. The miners
and those in sympathy with them, Mr..
Bassett says, are free to tell all of the fact
that no suspects are allowed there under
any circumstances.
In response to a request sent by the
RECORD UNION, yesterday, to the Piumas
National, for further information as to the
action OF the miners, the following dis
patch was received last evening:
ltQUIScy, April 29th.-Riggins and Bassett ar
rived here on Wednesday afternoon from Reno.
There was a miners meeting here that night
ana tney seemed TO get very nervous, and left
town OF their own accord. No demonstrations
of violence were made. If they were threat.
ened, 1t was done by some irresponsible parties
Upon receipt of this dispatch, Mr.. Bas-
sett was called upon and the message read
to him, when he remarked: "It is true
there was no actual violence, but imme-
diately after our arrival in Quincy parties
were sent out in all directions warning the
hydraulic miners who were under injunc-
lion of Court, and calling them together
for meeting in the evening. We were also

HIS LAST TRIP.

A Tramp Discharged From the Police
station Killed by the Cars Near
Colona.
The middle of last week the police of
this city arrested man for being drunk
and disorderly. who gave his name as
John T. Hass. He was taken before
Magistrate Bennett Thursday, where he
said his name was john T. Hamme, and
that be lived six miles from Princeton,
In Bureau county 1t was afterward
learned by the police, however. from a
man who knew the prisoner. that his real
name is Hamme Bless The man was
kept in the lookup here until Saturday
evening. when the police started him on
the G., X. !. & P. road to c.. B. &
Q, crossing. 1t was supposed that he
had been started home He claimed to
the police that he was not well treated
by his family. and told them that he
would not 60 home, But they supposed
that this was only blow" on his part
and sent him along.
So much for the first part OF the story,
and the sequel is a tragedy. Sunday
morning some men who we're walking on
the c., r l. & ?. track in Henry county
between Colona and Green river, discov-
cred what appeared to be the body of a
man near fence. some little distance
from the track. They went up to the OBJ
ject and found their surmises verified
| There was the man, dead and stiff The
back Of his head was crushed and the
| toes of one foot were cut OFF 1t was evil
dent that he had met with the fatal acci~
dent on the railroad track and the blood
stained footsteps showed only too plainly
the fact thst the fellow after being struck
10y some passing train had walked quite a
distance, falling several times by the way
and at last reaching the fence, where his
strength entirely gave out, and death had
come to his relief.
Word was at once taken TO Coiona and
it was soon discovered that the man had
applied at several places in Colona on
Saturday night for lodging place. but
had been refused in each instance. He
was finally seen, about midnight walking
up the track toward Green River, and
that was the last seen of him until his
dead body was found at 9 o'clock Sunday
morning Roiroad men were interview
ed and it was finally found that a man
who boarded the tain at Rock Island
Saturday night with ticket for the C
| B. & q. crossing had got off st Colona
The description of this man tailed with
that of the dead body. as well as with
the man whom the Rock Island police
had put upon the train. SO there would
seem to be no doubt that it was the SAINT
man
The body was found face downward
with the arms stretched out lust as TIT
man had fallen and it is probable that
death came soon after he fell the las
time. How he could walk so far as b
did with the terrible hole in the back o
his head is mystery.
Il The coroner of Henry county, held 81

e name was John T Hsmme, of Princeton
